Q. India ended fifth in the World Cup Hockey, disappointing thousands of hockey fans. Brahma Kumar Pal was also one of them. While thinking over the pros and cons of India’s defeat he fell asleep.
In this dream Pal saw the World Cup Hockey competition. After some matches the position of participating countries in league matches was:
India-10 points, Kenya-2 points, Malaysia-3 points, Russia-3 points, Spain-10 points, Australia-6 points and Holland-8 points.
At this stage Pal woke up. But he had forgotten most part of his dream. However, besides this list of points, he remembered that the matches which Holland drew were twice the number of matches it won.
Australia managed to see that none of the matches it played was drawn. The most spectacular match of this series was between Russia and Kenya in which Kenya defeated its much stronger opponent by 3 goals to 2.
With the help of your knowledge of the game of hockey and from the above details, would you tell the results of the matches played by these countries.
